Developing a Smartphone App for Arecanut Farmers and Integrating it with an IoT Enabled Smart Weighing Scale

Areca nut production in India is the largest in the world accounting for approximately 52% (according to 2019 production volumes) of its world output, and still is a very tedious and time consuming process as to the scale of the product [1]. Smart Sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two new technologies that can help to resolve this issue. This paper will show how smart sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), and a smartphone application may be used to oversee the entire process. We are proposing a smart weighing scale integrated to our smartphone application using Internet of Things (IoT). The smart weight scale’s purpose is to measure weight of Areca nuts in real time and send the data to our smartphone application by using the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module for wireless communication. This method employs a mechanical framework and a 50 kg load cell as sensing elements, along with an HX711 amplifier.
